Where my seizures began

In September 2013 I started my first year at the University of Huddersfield, I was excited and scared at the same time. At the end of the second year I went on a family holiday to our caravan at Skipsea Sands in Hornsea. After playing swing ball with my dad and then boyfriend, I came in, sat on the sofa next to my mum, I was looking at the tv and started to feel funny, I can't explain the feeling but I turned to my mum and told her I did not feel well. In the next couple of seconds my body flung back and I started shaking form the top of my body to the bottom, I can't remember how long exactly I was in the seizure; the next thing I remember is the ambulance arriving and being on my way to the hospital. This was and is the one big turning point of my life and has changed the direction of the path I was heading down. Entering my Final year I was having anywhere between 20/30 seizures a day, I was still going trough test to find out what was going on and with having so many seizures in one day this affected what I was able to do and my Uni work suffered with this. I was tired, in pain and had zero energy, with there been no signs of this changing soon. Half way through the final year 2015/16 there was a meeting with me, my dad, disabilities worker and tutors; we came to the decision that it was best if I took some time out and come back later to finish my final year.
